Bass, the radio host of Sirius Dirty
Pop with Lance Bass, explained on his radio show that he
proposed to Turchin in New Orleans in front of Jackson Square.

“As we were walking to 'pick up [producer] Sam,' I started
talking about, you know, the last two-and-a-half years and this other
stuff and I got down on one knee and I proposed right in front of
Jackson Square, my favorite place,” Bass said.

He added that a couple walking by caught of photo of Bass on one
knee proposing marriage.

Twenty-six-year-old Turchin, an aspiring actor and model, said
that he's been ready to marry since he was ten.

“Yeah, he's going to be a great husband,” Bass, 34, said.
“And the the best thing about it, he's going to be such a great
dad.”
